Congratulations to Professor Jerry Chen for his Cajal Club Cortical Explorer Award! The Cajal Club is the oldest society of neuroscience in the USA, founded in 1947, and is committed to sponsoring meetings dealing with structure and function of the cerebral context on a yearly basis. The Cajal Club Krieg Kudos Awards are given to recognize outstanding neuroscientists and doctoral students who are investigating the cerebral cortex and/or its connections. For the Cajal Club Krieg Cortical Explorer Award, the candidate should have received an advanced professional degree within the ten year period prior to the time of nomination. The Awards are funded by generous donations from Dr. Wendell J. Krieg, a distinguished neuroanatomist and the first President of the Cajal Club, and his wife, Roberta Krieg. The award was presented at this year’s Society for Neuroscience Meeting in San Diego on November 13th.
